If you’re in Europe please give us your bank details so that we can arrange your prize. If you’re outside of Europe, please share your paypal details so we can start on the prize transfer. We were also wondering whether you would be willing to answer a few of our questions so later on we can publish small interviews (as Sweek Stories) of our winners?

Please find the badge attached to put on your cover, so that everyone on Sweek can see you’re one of the winners! If you don’t know how to do this, you can send us your cover and we’ll do it for you.

On behalf of the Sweek editorial team as well as our jury members, once again congratulations on becoming one of the winners!

Publishing SweekStars 2017 edition

We would like to bundle your story in the special SweekStars 2017 edition book via Sweek publishing as a paperback. For some genres we’ll publish the book with genre finalists, but we’ll also combine some genres if the stories are too short. If your story is a novel or book in itself, so about more than 20,000 words, we can publish it together via Sweek publishing and we’ll help you with creating a book cover including SweekStars!

Please send us your bio information before Wednesday the 24th of January to have it included and read the note at the end of this mail.

Please note, we already indicated in our competition description that your story will be published in the book, and that you as an author keep the copyright. We would like to clarify this again, and if you have any objections, please state them before Monday the 24th of January.

- You, the author, will keep the author rights of your story

- You, the author, will keep the publication rights of your story. You can publish and/or sell your story digitally, in print or in e-book format via any distribution channel, without notifying us. Of course we would like to see you publishing your work through the Sweek self-publishing platform (https://publish.sweek.com/site/) where you'll get high margins for each copy sold

- You, the author, grant us the right to publish your story in the SweekStars paperback book and e-book
- We cannot compensate individual authors for their contribution to the bundles and we can’t send finalist a copy. Unfortunately our budget doesn’t allow that! However, if you have your story published as a stand-alone, you’ll receive the royalties for all the sales of the publication.
